Playing around entering ancestors on Ancestry.com has encouraged me to recheck familysearch.org for new records. Many new entries since we were in Denmark in 2008.
Found this one today:
21 Mar 1787 - baptism of Anna Hansdatter Skiotte, born 14 Mar 1787 Ønslev, Maribo, Denmark
daughter of Hans RASMUSSEN SKIOTTE and Ellen ERICHSDATTER. We knew her name, parents and approximate age, but this record has birthdate and baptism date that are new.
also siblings - this should help me discover more about the Skytte name in Ønslev.
child born/died 23 Oct 1792, child born/died 29 Oct 1791, very sad one year apart
Lars Hansen Skytte born 22 Jan 1794
Rasmus Hansen Skiotte born 20 Jan 1789
Else Hansdatter Skiotte born 20 Feb 1785
This family appears in census records as Hansens/Hansdatters, omitting the Skytte. Interesting to find the alternate spelling, and the use of Skytte/Skiotte in all the parish records
There is another family - Anders Nielsen Skytte and Maren Jensdatter - baptizing children during the same period, I am assuming this in a brother, but am not putting them into the tree at this point.
All this success had gone to my head, so I then proceeded to search for the birth of Ane's father Hans Rasmussen Skytte. I found a few records that make me wonder:
1. Rasmus Rasmussen Skytte, son of Rasmus Skytte 5 Aug 1753 Onslev, Maribo
2. Hans Rasmusen born 11 Feb 1743, son of Rasmus Hansen
3. Hans Rasmusen born 11 Dec 1746 to Rasmus Mortensen and Anna Jorgensdatter
This last one is the only Hans Rasmusen born to a Anna Jorgensdatter. The Mortensen is intriguing and deserves further investigation.
There is a marriage between Rasmus Mortensen and Ane Jorgensdatter celebrated 19 Feb 1738, Onslev (husband previously married, additional data in original record) according to the VRI.
Exploring Ane Jorgensdatter, there are two baptisms in Onslev with dates that would work"
1. Ane Jorgensdatter 8 Mar 1716, father Jorgen Mouridtzen
2. Anne Jorgensdatter Brygger, 24 Aug 1710, father Jorgen Brygger
Back checking Hans Rasmussen Skytte on Ancestry
- found a marriage 12 Feb 1779 between Ellen Erichsdatter and Hans Rasmusen Onslev, this is new
Family Search has Ellen Erichsdatter's baptism (there are 2, one in 1743 on in 1752)
This one matches her age in the 1787 and 1801 census records. 10 Dec 1752 to Erich Hansen and Anne Rasmusdatter.
Siblings for Ellen:
Maren, bap 31 Mar 1765
Rasmus, bap 24 Mar 1754
Oluf bap 23 Jan 1757
Found the marriage of Erik Hansen and Anna Rasmusdatter 14 Apr 1752, Ønslev, Maribo, Denmark
There are 2 baptismal records for Anna Rasmusdatter in Ønslev: one in 1713 and one in 1728. Since Anna was married in 1752 and having children in 1765, the 1713 record is impractical.
1 August 1728, Ane Rasmusdatter, daughter of Rasmus JENSEN
There is an Erich Hansen Skotte christened 15 Jun 1721 in Halsted, Maribo, son of Hans Skotte. For now I have to assume they are unconnected, but it is fascinating.
Not bad for an evening's work!
